Client History: Newbridge Publishing & Sundance Publishing- www.Newbridge Online, www.SundancePub.comNewbridge and Sundance are sister companies with a shared history. In June of 2000, Sundance Publishing heard our presentation at the Association of Education Publishers conference. They were intrigued by the e-commerce system we demonstrated and sent us the RFP that had been sent to several developers. When we were awarded the contract, they told us that they loved the idea of working with developers who had extensive backgrounds in education and print catalogs, so we got to work and launched the site before the end of the year.

They were so happy with the results, that they returned to us in late 2001 and began talking to us about a new site for Newbridge Publishing. Cuesta studied the requirements and came up with a plan to help them save money but using a similar template but different design and the same database. The Newbridge site launched in 2002.

The sites have a lot of content, and would normally require two Webmasters to keep them going. But because the back-end of each system is identical, they have a single Webmistress assigned to the two sites.

Cuesta helped us understand what was important, what made the most sense in terms of user-friendliness, and how to accomplish what we wanted while keeping an eye on our budget constraints. Cuesta has become a valued partner in our Web design, development and marketing efforts."
